"Try saving the above code into a file, "openremote.php", and loading it into your web browser - you should see Slashdot displayed",

but when I did that, I got nothing but a blank screen. I changed "www.slashdot.org" to a local file, and that worked fine, but no non-local files will display (except for one site, http://www.townhall.com/columnists, which only displayed the blue background of the title bar).

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this code isn't working? Any input would be appreciated.
